The Book of Us - ALTHARA J

[Verse 1]
We tried to write a perfect tale
But every page began to fail
We loved so deep, but couldn’t stay
The words just kept drifting away

[Pre-Chorus]
We turned back once, to try again
But it felt like reading fiction then
Same old lines, same old end
A heartbreak we couldn’t mend

[Chorus]
So I closed the book, with shaking hands
Too many tears in the final strands
I wish our story had no pain
Just sunny skies, no rainy days
A book that time can never fade
One I’d read and smile again

[Verse 2]
You and I, we dreamed so much
But dreams alone can’t be enough
No matter how we changed the plot
The ending stayed, no matter what

[Pre-Chorus]
We gave it all, we lost ourselves
In chapters we rewrote and shelved
But the ending came, cruel and true
It hurt more than the first time through

[Chorus]
So I closed the book, with shaking hands
Too many tears in the final strands
I wish our story had no pain
Just sunny skies, no rainy days
A book that time can never fade
One I’d read and smile again

[Bridge]
Now on my shelf, it sits in peace
A tale of love that found release
I’ll only read the parts that shine
And leave the sorrow far behind

[Final Chorus]
So I closed the book, with love, not shame
And left the past without the blame
I’ll keep the laughter, let go the cries
Turn the pain to lullabies
A book that time can never fade
One I’d read and smile again
